broke three days ago, and we have had a horrible time trying to
find something quenching to drink ... we were not allowed to
take a bath or wash anything, and if we ever needed water it
was during this heat ... last night i couldn't sleep it was so
hot inside, so i took my blanket and went outside and slept
on the grass ... a little hard, but much, much cooler ... we
thought we were going to get our ten days on the basis of the
five day week, that is skipping saturday and sunday, but this
proved not to be the case, so we have to be back in dallas on
the 19th ... could you rnake me a nla.ne reservation to arrive
in dallas that night, and when i get home i will interview
the airline and see if they think i can surely stay on the
plane ... otherwise i'll have to ride the train, which takes
quite a while with some not too good connections ... dallas
or fort worth, i think that gives,you a little more choice of
schedules ... i've got to go to a meeting ... much love, and
don't wrry about me getting there, i'll let you know later
when, and don't expect me before wednesday or thursd .v ..
will be awfully glad to see you all
